Rangers vs Genk Europa League Betting Tips, Correct Score Prediction and Suggested Bet Builders

Rangers welcome Genk to Ibrox tomorrow evening as both clubs begin their respective Europa League campaigns.

The Ibrox outfit have started their season poorly with manager Russell Martin facing fan protests almost from the get-go.

Fans have felt their frustrations and demands for their boss’s sacking has been justified with the club’s worst start to a season in more than 40 years as they are yet to win in the Scottish Premiership in their opening five matches.

Gers sit 11th in the league but they did pick up a big Premier Sports Cup win over Hibs, 2-0, at home to surely build some much needed momentum with the Belgian side coming to town.

The visitors, meanwhile, have also had a rough start with just two league wins from their opening eight fixtures.

Football betting sites lean towards Rangers, who are slight favourites at 6/4, with the draw at 5/2 and Genk out at 8/5 for a win.

Rangers vs Genk Match Odds

  • Rangers: 6/4

  • Draw: 5/2

  • Genk: 8/5

Rangers vs Genk: Correct Score Prediction

Rangers knocked Hibs out of the Cup last weekend and will know they have to really build on that result if they are to stand any chance of getting their year back on track.

Gers love a European run and are famously good at home, Club Brugge aside.

Bojan Miovski found the net for his first club goal on Saturday and will hope to do so again, so we plump for a narrow home victory if they can sort out their defensive errors.

Rangers vs Genk Bet Builder Tips

Here are three picks that make sense for Sunday’s showdown:

Miovski goal anytime @ 2/1

The North Macedonian opened his account for Gers vs Hibs and he was prolific at Aberdeen, so logic would dictate the floodgates opening for the 26-year-old.

Miovski is a goal scorer and if his teammates can find him with the ball he will stick it in the net.

Sitting at 2/1 any time, we suspect those odds are well worth a shot.

Rangers +6.5 corners @ 2/1

We believe Rangers’ ravenous fanbase will roar their side on in front of a packed out crowd. Defensively the hosts have been a tad shaky but they can score.

If the Light Blues push forward for the most part they should have efforts on goal and more than six corners in 90 minutes.

Again, 2/1 odds are too good to sniff at.

Both teams to score @ 8/15

The defensive sloppiness has come to the fore again for Gers but it is simply true.

Martin’s side have lost 19 goals in all competitions from 13 matches but have chipped in at the other end. Genk, meanwhile, know where the goal is and hit five in their Europa League playoff tie away to Lech Poznan to make it here.
